| A clear vision of safety.
SmartView is Honeywell's award-winning Synthetic Vision System (SVS) -- a new
product now offered on Gulfstream aircraft equipped with PlaneView
cockpits and Dassault EASy-equipped aircraft.
Currently certified on Gulfstream aircraft equipped with the
PlaneView® advanced cockpit, SmartView uses cues that pilots already
understand to provide them with a VFR view regardless of the time of day or
weather conditions.
|
SmartView uses Honeywell's industry-leading Enhanced Ground Proximity
Warning System (EGPWS) database and our advanced Head-Up Display (HUD)
symbology. Combined, they give pilots an unprecedented, coherent, and
continuous window of situational awareness of their flight path, terrain, and
navigational environment.
SmartView synthesizes key information for the pilot and
delivers it in an easy way that is:
 | Ambient - The pilot makes no special effort to gather data |
| Natural - The pilot makes no special effort to interpret the
data |
| Continuous - The pilot makes no special effort to update the
data |
|
|
SmartView is a tactical decision-making tool that helps the pilot make
necessary short-term decisions needed during flight. It complements Honeywell's
proprietary Interactive Navigation (INAV®). INAV is Honeywell's navigation
display which allows on-screen graphical flight-planning.
Using performance-based HUD symbology, SmartView helps crews determine the
outcome of many navigation tasks, such as avoiding terrain and obstacles. The
HUD symbology also helps crews understand where the aircraft is going and
makes the energy management of the airplane, especially during critical flight
phases such as takeoffs and landings more natural. In addition, the blending of
symbology, such as range rings and runway center lines with the terrain assures
the pilot accurate distance information that's easily interpreted.
Terrain data comes from the Honeywell EGPWS database which has over 800+
million hours of proven operation on commercial, business jets and helicopters
and is credited with over 30 controlled flight into terrain
(CFIT) saves. Honeywell is the only database provider certified by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through a
Letter of Acceptance. The database is continuously updated with newer
and higher resolution data, and endures a thorough and strict validation and
configuration control exceeding the DO200A compliance standards.
SmartView Features
|
|
| Innovative features SmartView brings to the
cockpit: |
| Flight Path Marker based PFD--HUD symbology that helps with the aircraft
energy management and eases navigation |
| Conformal terrain --Displays exactly where you are going by looking at the
Flight Path Marker |
| Color coded terrain --Similar to how it is conventionally displayed on a
map |
| Water texturing and color saturation --Clearly distinguishes the water from
the sky |
| EGPWS warnings and cautions overlaid on the terrain |
| Range rings --Show distance |
| Obstacles |
| Runways markings --Centerline, runway numbering and distance remaining
markers |
| Unusual attitude declutter with fade-in --When the aircraft is in an usual
attitude the terrain is gradually faded away to allow the pilot to concentrate
on the task of returning to steady and level flight |
|
Seamless integration of the terrain and the advanced HUD symbology make the
Honeywell SmartView the most advanced synthetic vision product available today.
